the fiscal cliff. the perception here is the nra is out of step with the mainstream. mayor bloomberg issued a statement saying, quote, today the nra's lobbyists blamed everyone but themselves for the crisis of gun violence. while they promote armed guards, they continue to oppose the most basic and common sense steps we can take to save lives. not only in schools but in our movie theaters, malls, and streets. enough. as a country we must rise above special interest politics. what's your response to that, conman schiff? >> well, i think mayor bloomberg is exactly right. the answer is not to put armed guards in our kindergarten classes and high schools, our universities and shopping malls. it makes no sense whatsoever and i think the news conference today had people scratching their heads, really appalled at what they heard the spokesman for the nra say, and plainly there's nothing constructive coming out of that leadership. the leadership of that organization is not only out of step with the country but

so why will he have such an impact in terms of the fiscal cliff negotiations? and the reason is that paul ryan, despite the presidential loss, continues to be the ideological godfather of the current republican budget -- >> but, luke, he just got ripped to shreds. he just got pulverized in the election. in fact, so many of his ideas, he had to go quiet on because they were so deficient and attacked during the presidential campaign. yet there you are now telling our audience he's back and republicans have him as their -- one of their main stakeholders. >> he's very much still an important player within the house republican conference. so much so that speaker boehner when it came to having a daily meeting about the fiscal cliff situation made the decision to bring in folks that had a committee in terms of jurisdiction over the matter, so that put paul ryan in with budget and energy and commerce and upton. what you're going to see is going forward is paul ryan's fingers will be on any potential deal that could emerge between speaker boehner and president obama. an

cliff negotiations. take a listen. >> flt we'if we're going to be about deficit reduction and debt reduction it's going to have to be a matter of shared sacrifice at least as long as i'm president and i'm going to be president for the next four years i hope. [ cheers and applause ] >> joining us now, julian epstein, a democratic strategist and dr. james peterson, an associate professor at lehigh university and a contributor to thegrio.com. welcome, both of you. julian, when you hear the president talk like that, do you get the sense that the white house believes it will not be blamed if no deal materializes and also now we hear the house is going to take a pass on a vote today. >> yeah, i think the house will likely vote tomorrow or the next day, so that won't matter so much. i think all the polling shows that the public was blaming and would blame the republicans if we had an economic calamity that resulted from not having a deal, and i think as to the president's performance today, i think it is import

cliff negotiations. what has the white house reaction been? >> reporter: as you know, the republican plan calls for about $800 billion in new tax revenues by basically reforming the tax code but it doesn't cover increasing taxes on the wealthiest americans and that is something that president obama says must be included in any plan, so white house communications director dan pfeifer just released this statement. i'm just getting it. quaet quote, the republican letter does not meet the test for balance. it sticks the middle class with the bill. their plan includes nothing new and provides no details on which deductions they would eliminate. independent analysts who have looked at plans like this one have concluded middle class taxes will have to go up to pay for lower rates for millionaires and billionaires. while the president is willing to compromise to get a significant balanced deal and believes compromise is available, he's not willing to compromise on the principles of fairness and balance that incl

go to the fiscal cliff and fall off. it. >> i think it's given a lot of the beltway media i have to say and a lot of people on wall street this excuse to make it sound like on january 1st, the world would literally end. what would happen is number one, negotiations would begin immediately to restore the middle class parts of the tax cut and there would be sort of a slow but, you know, it could be potentially serious if it went on too long but i doubt it would go on very long. once you hit january 1st, republicans will be sobered up immediately. they will realize the election of 2012 did happen and they'll have to come back to the table. >> we may just have to wait -- >> on "the cycle" we call it the gradual fiscal slope, it's not a cliff. >> thank you. good-byes are tough as we know, especially to those who brought us all such great pleasure, so you take a deep breath and remember these words by the late great dr. seuss. don't cry because it's over. smile because it happened. here are today's "top lines." >> i have just

cliff? >> yeah. mostly what we're hearing about is that the staff level there are ongoing negotiations between the white house, between harry reid and the senate majority leader's office and john boehner's office, the house republicans. but so far what we've seen, at least in the principal, is really just highlighting the differences and how stark the differences are. yes, there have been some republicans who have publicly said they are open to poe tengts tax increases, revenue increases, but even more so we're seeing this entrenchment over the military spending cuts, the unwilling nness to see that and we're seeing on the democratic side the idea that maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we went over the fiscal cliff and kicked the can down the road to the next congress which will be more favorable from the liberal perspective to negotiating on these big picture issues. frankly, i think it would be harder to have a compromise on son-in-law of the entitlement reform that republicans want to see, a
